The makers of action movie The Expendables have dropped an incredible lawsuit they had brought against more than 23,000 BitTorrent users who had allegedly downloaded the film illegally, according to TorrentFreak.

Over the past few years, lawsuits against users of BitTorrent and other file-sharing software have become increasingly common. Since 2010, the United States Copyright Group, a business that has no affiliation with the U.S. government, has sued thousands of file sharers in the hopes of getting them to settle out of court by paying between $1,000 and $3,000 per violation.

Nu Image, the production company behind The Expendables, teamed up with the U.S. Copyright Group in May to sue 23,322 file sharers. But now, Nu Image has decided to voluntarily dismiss the case.

Nu Image likely made the decision based on an early-August ruling made by Judge Robert Wilkins that said Nu Image can only sue file sharers living in the District of Columbia. Wilkins said the court did not have jurisdiction over the accused not living in D.C., effectively cutting out 99 percent of the initial defendants.
